Dr Peter Fairclough

Fairclough became a consultant at the age of 32 and, 34 years later,
is one of the UK’s most respected gastroenterologists. With so much clinical experience (‘I have seen most things,’ he says), he is a reassuring presence, as patients he has treated for heartburn, reflux, ulcers, vomiting, weight loss and Crohn’s disease confirm. He performs hundreds of endoscopies, gastroscopies and colonoscopies a year, and is at the forefront of the battle against colon cancer through screening and removing polyps.
Cool under pressure, this keen tennis player is the Roger Federer of his profession.
